H New York, Oct. 11.?The New York Yankees, greatest money players in the game today, kicked away the world's baseball championship of 1926 and lost more than $50,000 by their grieveous errors. * J; The St. Louis Cardinals' JtRve taken to their home ?town by the Mississippi the j first world's championship, recognized by organized base-| . tftll. ever to go that far West. It is no disparagement to the . ??chievements of H o g e r s fcfornsby and his crew of fighting, inspired ball players, to say that the championship, depending upon the final game, was won without an earned run. The Cards outhit, outscored and out fielded their opponents through the seven games of the series. This or dinarily covers about all there la to the national game. The Yanks have no alibi in the face of the returns. Yet this last gome of the 192? classic will take its place in base ball history as one of the worst played. The losing pitcher, r?Vj>lte Hoyt, our time known as ?lEe Brooklyn school boy, lost Without an earned run neon <1 against him. That Is about us tough a break as a fllngcr ever gets. It fell to the lot of Bob Meusel, Yankee left flolder, to make the big muff thin year, to take his place alongside Snodgrnss and u few others who have put their Qtuff In the book. It also fell to the lot of poor old Koenig, Yan kee shortstop, and Pecklnpaugh of the last series, to make his fourth #rror in the same Inning with the muff. Then Hob Meusel entirely misjudged a fly ball, all In the Maine frame. The Cards scored their three runs In this fatal or fateful fourth, whichever you ChooHe to call it, and at no other time were within hallta^ distance of the plate. The Yank? fought hard. O i that there can be no doubt. And they fought before a Sunday baseball ct-owd whlrh was as alien as if the game had been played in St. Louis. Virtually all of the root ing was for the Cards and even When Babe Huth whammed a ho- : mer Into the deep right field j (bleachers In the third, there were oaly the bleachers to cheer him. 3'lie stands were strangely silent. Iiabe broke another world series record with that homer. For It wan his fourth and the record ha* ?lood at three. And It was the Babe's only chance to shine at bat. Four other time? he faced the Cardinal pitchers and each time he wan walked. They were taking no more chances. The game wan too tight. Another smash by Huth would have upset all the Cardinal , calculation*. All the way through the final ?anie the Cardinals plainly were under a strain. In the seventh lanlngt with the bases full, and two out, there was a Cardinal council of war. It was only one of a score of "huddles" during the afternoon. Hut this was the crl ileal, the crucial council, and as n result of it the Cards called old tirover Cleveland Alexander to the , /escue. Alex had pitched only the day before. He had won two ! games of the series. But here was | an extremity and the grand old ! man was called once more Into the breach. Here was old Alex, sold Mai moment to pass the burden V&eavlriK th< day along the broad ! ? shoulders of good old Orover. And tared It. He whiffed Mr. Tony Xaiierl with those bases full. "Push Km Up, Tony," some of the faithful Yankee fans called, hut { Tony whiffed 'em up Instead with three lusty swings. When the tumult and the shout j 4ng of this world aarlea haa died i and n good perspective Is had on ] the game, It will be found that , oa< Thomas Joseph Thevenow, I frtaylnK his first full season in the major?, contributed as much to the Cardinal succesa as any two or tErae other players on the team, j JBtfc play snd his timely hitting put down the rlvar laat summer by the Cubs, because they aald he would n't stick to the training rules. Further Rumblings Of Fair Episode Are Heard Here Further rumbling* from a dis turbance at th?' fair grounds Fri day night. In connection with which Jerry Johnson, colored. was fined |10 and coats in recorder's court Saturday morning. were heard In court today, when Koss , Hrlght, white, said to have driven the truck in which Jonnson was alleged to have obtained uncere ; moulouH entrance to the grounds, .forfeit.d a bond of $40 through failure to appear to answer to '? charges of being drunk and of forcibly obtaining entrance to the fair grounds. j An additional charge of driving an automobile while under the In *4- KtiMor wan preferred : against Bright, and hearing of the ; case was scheduled for Saturday ! week. He \yas put under addi tional bond of $100 for his ap pearance then. J. J. Lamb, also ; white, and also arrested in con nection with the incident, was on hand for trial on charges of Intox ication and of forcibly obtaining' entrance to the grounds, but hear ing of the case was postponed un I til nrlght could be located, the in dention of the court being to han dle the entire matter Saturday 'week, If practicable. Hrlght wan declared to be em (ployed in timber operations at : Frying Fan, In Tyrrell County. Through a compromise whereby the defendant ppid the State's wlt i ness $50. and met the court costs ; in the action, proceedings against! Raymond Ivey were dropped. He1 originally had been charged with I seduction. iLETTER IS STOLEN FROM THE POLICE Los Angeles, Oct. 11.?Theft of a letter from police department [ files demanding half a million dol lars for the safe return of Almee i Semple McPherson today sent 'state detectives Into a new phase [of investigation of the evangelist's I kidnapping story as the pdstor's ' preliminary hearing on conspiracy chargfta entered the third week. The letter was sent from San Fran cisco May 24 to Mrs. Minnie Ken nedy, mother of the Angelus Tem ple pastor. It was supposed to have been" written by the kidnap pers. Maybe he didn't stick to the rules during this old world serbs, but i whatever he stuck to was mighty fine stufT, for old Alex never falt ered for a moment. To St. I.ouI* he has been the real hero of the series, Jess Haines will be cred- | ited with winning two of the four games for the Cards but Jess was perfectly wllllnx in this last cru- i the performances of even Rogers 1 Hornsby in the shade. Thevenow was everywhere around the short : field. His leaping catch of a lin er from Hcvereld's bat In the last game was a turning point which meant much. If that hit had gone : by the game might easily hsv< gone with It. Hut Thevenow was not to be denied. It Is Strang?1 that the shortstop position should have developed one super hero of the series and have sent another good player Into the shadows of despair. With player rev?r?ed, with Thevenow on the Yanks and Koenlg on the Cards, the Yanks would have been world champions today. In the last analysis Inspiration won the series. Call It "breaks" or what you will, the Cards went into this serlcn with a winning spi rit. They deserved to win. The whole country, and a yery large share of New York, was pulling for them to win. That the last j game should have been a dismal i affair, was no fault of their*. They ! at least were alert and ready to take advantage of the Yankee* tvery time they bobbed. Baseball la the better for the new cham plons.

In which decided tribute was paid both to North Carolina and Governor McLean, the Governor launched immediate ly Into his address, tracing the de velopment or thought in the State J which led up to participation In : the signing of^the Declaration of Independence, calling attention to the fact that as early as 1773 the people of North Carolina had be jgun to notice the oppression of the Mother Country toward the col-' ?onles. In 1774 the people of WI1-' mlngton began to organize, and > appointed delegates to a conven tion that met in New Hern on Au gUHt 25. 1774. This convention i was the first representative body elected by the people of any col |ony, and the first expression of i American defiance.

Moore and the elder Jordan* his fat her-n-law. had had words the nlKht before, when Moore went to' Jordan's home in Winfall to get his wife and take her home. Moor? had bet n drinking, and that. It ap pears. was the reatton for the eld er man's objection to his daugh ter accompanying him. Moore fin ally departed, minus his wife and two little hoys. j Returning shortly after day break next morning. Moore had an encounter with his mother-in-law,' according to Winfall folk, who gay she heat him with a stick and drove him away.

The charge was changed to murder when M oore died, and Jordan wan re-ar rested and placed In jail without bail. DAUGHEKTY JUHY IS STIIJ. DEADLOCKED New York.

The hogs in the livestock building, were puro bred, but not too well bred to answer with eager grunts! and squeals that familiar call to tin> festive board. Only the stout-' ness of the pens in which they were confined kept them from an swering it unanimously. In person. Six candidates carrying the guerdons of three counties look part in the content. Tliey were J. t;. Jennings. T. L. Overman and Mack Fletcher. Jr.. of Pasquotank: the Fereliees. Henry flay Junior and Senior, of Camden; and W. D Walker. ?>f Currituck. First hon ors went to Mr. Jennings and sec ond place t?? Mr. Ferehee. the younger. Thus it was that Pas quotank and Camden di\ld?d I lie prir.es. uiul busked alike I he ac claim of the multitude. II. C. Fere bee, Jr.. was the first of the candidates to display his prowess. lie boomed out a call that went something like this: "He -oooo?orp! He?oooo orp! Woo?orp!" It rattled the shingles on the grandstand roof, and doubtless; caused pigs, young and old. In Tad more to perk up their ears Inter estedly. .. Next came J. (S. Jennings, famil iarly termed Jim. who lives near j Weeksvllle. Ills trump card was a refrain that went ilk?' this: ??Ye ooo orp! Ye? oon rp! Ye -ooo?-orp! To his other blandishments. Mr. Jennings, largely by gift of Na ture. was * Aibled to produce u pe culiarly pleasing facial expression ! front the standpoint of a hog, In I the opinion of the Judges. Facial expression was one of the main point i on which the merit of the calls were Judged. Next came jy. 1>- Walker, from Currituck. Mr. Walker did his rail ing in a strictly businesslike way. indicating that when be Informs his porkers their breakfast I*; ready, he means It. No kidding, i His call was distinctive, and pleas ing . With variations, it ran like this: "K?<1000! K?oooo! I*, oooo. Then was tried the prowess of T. L. Overman, who has called" more general Iona of hogs than be cares to admit and who. plainly, has done It effectively and well. Mr. Overman remarked" after the contest that lie held himself ? lit tle in reserve, afraid if he "turned loose." all the hogs within a ra dius of five miles would break from their pons and flock to the j fair grounds. III? summons went so: i "Wo?-000?orp! V,o ? 000?j orp! Wo 000?orp!" II. C. Ferehee, Sr., wa* next. Father anil son used practically j the same call, the one evidently having transnillted it to the oth-, er. and possibly the derision of the judges in favor of the younger Mr Ferehee was based on facial expression. That of Mr. Ferehee. Senior, whs partially obscured by whiskers. Mack Fletcher, Jr.. was the last contestant. He evidently was pre pared to deal with porkers of many breeds and temperaments, for his repertoire Included decld 5illy more variations than that of ny of the others. In the high I spots. It was something like this: "P? uuu! Wo 000 ? orp! j Pe-e-eg, pe-e-cg. pe-e-eg!"
